In consideration of the high frequency of small residual value, the nonuniform quantization is used to process the residual of each subblock in order to reduce the quantization error. Supposing that the mth measurement residual of the fcth subblock is [d.sub.k](m),it can be compressed according to [mu] law as follows:

Thus, the test result is quantization error. If we want to increase the resolution of seed images to reduce the quantization error, the amount of system calculation will greatly increase; the system might become slow or crash.
